- Abstract
An updated checklist of ferns and lycophytes of Algeria is presented, including taxonomy, distribution, conservation status, and notes. Overall, 61 taxa of ferns and lycophytes, from 2 genera and 16 families, are reported for Algeria, which counts for approximately 54% of the North African pteridophytes. There are also ten further uncertain taxa that need modern confirmation. The purpose of this work was to revise the checklist of all known pteridophytes present in Algeria and to provide a discussion on their taxonomy diversity, distribution pattern, rarity, conservation status, and national legal protection. Critical comments on most of the taxa are made.
